About the Author

I was born in suburban Philadelphia. I dabbled in writing poems and short stories through school. Mother sparked the interest with her libraries of ‘how to write’ books. We talked for years about writing a novel together. We had several scenes plotted but no real story line. After she had her stroke, Mom handed me some yellow lined paper she had started to write the opening scene on along with research notes, clippings of articles pertaining to that era and her books. I realized how important it had become to her. I made it my life’s work to see her dream come true. Unfortunately, Mom past away before she could see that happen.
